MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has decided to appoint a consultant to monitor whether service level benchmarks set up by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to avail their fundings.

The civic body has named Crisil Risk and Infrastructure as a consultant for the task for an estimated cost of Rs 2.75 crore.

The JNNURM is a massive city-development scheme launched by the central government under the ministry of urban development. The civic body has undertaken several projects like the Middle Vaitarana dam, laying of underground water tunnels, development of dumping grounds, construction of sewerage treatment plants etc under this scheme.

"The JNNURM has set certain performance indicators, which are called service level benchmarks, for the evaluation and monitoring of services offered under this scheme. The civic body has to phase wise maintain the status of these services, failing to which the funds distribution will be affected," said standing committee chairman Rahul Shewale.

According to the recommendations of 13th finance commission, the State Government will receive funds of Rs 1100 crore under JNNURM. To acquire these funds, the services are needed to be provided as per the service level benchmarks. For this, all the information will have to be collected from various civic departments so that it can be submitted to the State Government in proper manner. Keeping this in mind, it has been decided to appoint M/s Crisil as a consultant. They will also guide the BMC on maintaining the status of these services, said a senior civic official.

Under the JNNURM project, the BMC has been also trying to get more funds from the Centre for various projects. The civic body has sent a proposal for funding the Bhandup sewage treatment plant and pumping station under the Municipal Sewage Disposal Project-II, for which the civic body has asked for Rs 400 crore.

We are also planning to demand funds of Rs 300 crore and Rs 400 crore for a sewage tunnel in Goregaon and for a sewage pumping station in Ghatkopar respectively. Besides these projects, the BMC is hoping to get allocation for the Damanganga project and also its ambitious coastal road project, the official added.

Under the JNNURM scheme, the civic body spends 50 per cent funds, while the 35 per cent and the 15 per cent amount of that project is funded by the central and state governments respectively.
